shall nominee's budget plan as a way to, you know, really hit mitt romney and paul ryan saying that they'll dismantle medicare. so i could see this comment really coming into play... them using them to say they want to tax low-income people. >> ifill: does paul ryan's tough budget make it difficult for mitt romney to back too far away from an argument like this? >> it certainly does because a lot of the spending cuts that representative ryan has proposed would fall on low-income people. he wants to block grand medicaid. he wants to block grant food stamps. these would turn the funding over the states and completely change the scope of it from an entitlement program to something with limited funding. that would mean that fewer people could take advantage of it. >> ifill: going to be a very interesting argument to watch play out. nancy cook from national journal, roberton williams from the tax policy. thank you both very much. >> you're welcome. thank you. woodruff: look for a commen from romney's remarks. my interview with bob woodward will air soon. there's more politics coming up,
